[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ITT: Terrified SFH owners in dense urban areas who are afraid they'll lose a lot of value in their homes once jobs decentralize and people flee high tax states/cities and high COL areas. Bring on the decentralization. Can't wait to leave this overpriced area with soul crushing traffic.[/quote]

Lol! Basically the posters on here. Fuc&ed. [/quote]

Nope. Realist. I WFH and have for 5 years and own homes that I split time between in 2 states.

All of you hoping to keep high 6-figure salaries are not listening to what these Tech CEOs are saying. It hasn't even been a week and 2 CEOS have confirmed reduced salaries for WFH and 3 more have announced in-house.

Are you kidding? They are about to slaughter salaries and benefits and you'll be crying in your soup when you get to North Carolina or Texas to find out that $275K salary with stock options just became 65K with half-vesting and a side of 'We still expect you to video share in meetings on PST time!'

Welcome to less pay and 5AM Zoom calls in Dallas because you stupidly decided to relocate.[/quote]

Don't care if there is salary cuts.

Reduced taxes in other states and less traffic alone is worth a salary cut. F sitting in NoVa, DC, MoCo - Baltimore region traffic.[/quote]

Don’t let the door hit you. If what you’re saying is true then I’ll be left here without much traffic because everyone is fleeing :). Not that I sit in traffic much anyway because I live 2 blocks from metro, telework a bunch even in non-pandemic times, and enjoy walking to restaurants, coffee shops, etc. I grew up in a mid-size city without any transit and let me tell you, you’re not escaping any traffic. Places like Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, Norfolk, etc. have horrendous traffic. Also with reduced taxes comes fewer local services, especially in a red state (I used to live in one).

I’m not saying there aren’t reasons to leave. If you can keep a job you like (even with reduced salary) and move closer to family or somewhere meaningful to you then go for it. But I’ve lived a lot of places and there’s a reason people pay a lot of money to live here. The close-in suburbs are a great place to raise a family if you can afford it. If you’re financially stretched and have to live somewhere with a long commute, I agree it probably sucks and you should find happiness elsewhere.[/quote]
